Abstract: The aviation industry is undergoing significant improvements in aircraft efficiency, driven by technological innovation and evolving performance demands. In this lecture, we will explore the ...

Ferrari has applied for a patent for a new engine design that utilizes oval (pill-shaped, more like) pistons rather than the conventional, circular pistons widely utilized in internal combustion ...

The U.S. Air Force's sixth-generation fighter is one step closer to reality, as two proposed engines intended to power the aircraft have successfully passed a significant design review. This milestone ...

For more than 100 years, the internal combustion engine (ICE) has been the mechanism of choice for vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Across all configurations, the principle is the same: a mix of fuel ...

Porsche has filed a patent for a new W12 engine it's developing that employs a unique configuration. The Volkswagen Group is no stranger to oddly configured W12 engines, of course. The iconic Bentley ...

DAYTON, Ohio—The Air Force is working on one engine design to power the service’s highly secret new fighter jet—no matter which company builds the plane. The future engine, called Next Generation ...

If internal combustion is a war, then pistons are quite literally on the frontlines. Converting reciprocating energy into rotating force means that the four-stroke process tries to both eject the ...

While there have been many unusual engine designs over the years, there haven't been many advancements involving the inner workings of the piston engine, except for higher-quality components, since ...
